MoFo #11: Pumpkin Beer Bread
Get ready for more pumpkin because I roasted some squash today and made a giant vat of puree! I might just have to call this book “baked goods inspired by pumpkin-y drinks”. Ever since pumpkin beer emerged this season, I’ve been wondering what kind of baked good I should make with it, but have been …
DIY MoFo #10: Vanilla extract and lavender sugar
I’ve been using a lot of brand new things in the kitchen pretty regularly this month, like freshly roasted pumpkin puree and coconut cream. Last night, I took on two new projects that turned out to be quite simple! Jess and Michele inspired me to make my own vanilla extract, and Steph gave me the …
MoFo #9: Kittycakes
KITTYCAKES! I made these cupcakes for my friend Sarah’s birthday last week. The cake is my basic lemon cupcake recipe topped with whiskey lemon buttercream and chocolate ganache. I’d like to make a dessert based on the whiskey sour sometime soon. Cupcakes are a dead giveaway, so I’ve been avoiding them lately when writing new …
MoFo #8: Mini Pumpkin Apple Pies and Coconut Cream How-to
Blah, blah, blah here I go with the pumpkins again. I decided to play around with the traditional pumpkin pie by introducing different flavors into the dessert and miniaturizing it. Now, I’ve made pie only a few times ever, so rolling pie crust and demystifying all the kinds of pie innards still has a bit …
Vegan MoFo #7: Ted Leo
Back in July, I saw Ted Leo & the Pharmacists in Milwaukee. Ted and I became Twitter friends shortly before the show. Is Twitter friends the correct term? What I mean is, Ted followed me back on Twitter because of the lovely beautiful pretty haired Isa Chandra. I got all giggly and jumpy for approximately …
Vegan MoFo #6: Rainbow Unicorn Cake
Unicorn rainbow cake! I rarely make full-sized cakes unless I have somewhere or someone to bring them to, but I really wanted to play around with fondant and painting with food coloring, so this cake went to school with me. After making grape soda cupcakes, I was really into the idea of making more soda …
MoFo #5: Pumpkin Beer, Brunch, and Bread
Surprise! I’ve jumped on the pumpkin bandwagon. With countless varieties of winter squash popping up in every grocery store and farmer’s market all over the place, it’s pretty difficult not to put roasted squash in everything or make every kind of pumpkin baked good. This newfound squash fixation forced me to do something I’ve never …
Vegan MoFo #2: Saga of the Grape Soda Cupcakes (and recipe)
While perusing the beverage aisle during a grocery trip with recipe writing in mind, I tossed a few bottles of grape soda* in the cart thinking I’d have big plans with it, eventually. The bottles sat on top of my refrigerator for about two months before I decided what to do with it. Everything just …
Vegan MoFo #1: Kitchen Tour
I’m suppose I’m fashionably late to starting MoFo on this blog, but here we are! My theme this year is documenting the cookbook writing process from my 375 square foot apartment (not sure how big the kitchen is, but less than half of that!). I’ll go over recipe writing, recipe failures, photoshoots, organizing recipes, testing, …
Cookie books and candyland zines in stock again! And Vegan MoFo!
I ordered a new shipment of books and they’re now up for sale in my online store! Signed and shipped directly from me with love and a rainbow glitter cupcake unicorn business card tucked inside! I also printed new copies of my Vegan Candyland zine, so it’s available now too! Check out the recipes, pictures …
